bylaws or regulations now or hereafter in force which relate to the Leased
Premises and the conduct of business therein, or to the making of any repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions, changes, substitutions or improvements of

sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, nor mortgage or encumber this
Lease or the Leased Premises or any part thereof, nor suffer or permit the
occupation, or part with or share possession of, all or any part of the Leased
Premises by any other person, firm or corporation (all of the foregoing being
hereinafter referred to as a "transfer") without the prior written consent of
the Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.10.2. The consent by the Landlord to
any transfer, if granted, shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for
such consent to any subsequent transfer. The Landlord shall use all reasonable
efforts to reply to the Tenant's request made pursuant to this Paragraph 9.10.1
within fifteen (15) days of receipt by it of the Tenant's request as aforesaid.
This prohibition against a transfer is construed so as to include a prohibition
against any transfer by operation of law and no transfer shall take place by
reason of a failure by the Landlord to reply to a request by the Tenant for
consent to a transfer. If there is a permitted transfer of this Lease, the
Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, sub-tenant or occupant (all of the
foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "transferee"), and
apply the net amount collected to the Minimum Rent required to be paid pursuant
to this Lease, but no acceptance by the Landlord or any payments by a transferee
shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the acceptance of the transferee as
Tenant or a release of the Tenant for the further covenant or the acceptance of
the transferee as Tenant or a release of the Tenant for the further performance
by the Tenant of the covenants or obligations on the part of the Tenant herein
contained. Any document evidencing the Landlord's consent to a transfer of this
Lease, if permitted or consented to by the Landlord shall be prepared by the
Landlord's solicitors, and all reasonable legal fees with respect thereto shall
be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord forthwith upon demand. Any consent by the
Landlord shall be subject to the Tenant causing any such transferee to promptly
execute an agreement directly with the Landlord agreed to be bound by all of the
terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease as if such transferee
and originally executed this Lease as Tenant. Notwithstanding that any such
transfer is permitted or consented to by the Landlord, the Tenant shall be
jointly and severally liable with the transferee upon this Lease and shall not
be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained
in this Lease.
9.10.2 If the Tenant intends to effect a transfer of all or any part of the
Leased Premises or this Lease, in whole or in part, or of any [illegible] or
interest hereunder, then and so often as such event shall occur, the Tenant
shall give prior written notice to the Landlord of such Interest, specifying
therein the name of the proposed transferee and shall provide such information
with respect thereto, including without limitation, information concerning the
principals thereof and as to any credit, financial or business information
relating to the proposed transferee as the Landlord requires, and the Landlord
shall, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, notify the Tenant in written either,
that (a) it consents or does not consent to the transfer, or (b) it elects to
cancel this Lease in preference to the giving of such consent. If the Landlord
elects to cancel this Lease, as aforesaid the Tenant shall notify the Landlord
in writing within fifteen (15) days thereafter of the Tenant's intention either
to refrain from such transfer or to accept the cancellation of this Lease. If
the Tenant fails to deliver such notice within such period of fifteen (15) days,
this Lease will thereby be terminated upon expiration of the said fifteen (15)
day period. If the Tenant advises the Landlord that it intends to refrain from
such transfer, then, the Landlord's right to cancel this Lease as aforesaid
shall become null and void in such instance.
9.10.3 The Tenant shall not print, publish or display any notice or
advertisement advertising the whole or any part of the Leased Premises for the
purposes of assignment or subletting without the prior approval by the Landlord
of the complete text or format of any such notices of advertisement.

assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition or by
subscription from time to time of all or any part of the corporate shares of the
Tenant or of any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Tenant or any
corporation which is an associate or an affiliate of the Tenant (as those terms
are defined pursuant to the Business Corporations Act S.O. 1982, and amendments
thereto) which result in any changes in the present effective voting control of
the Tenant by the parties holding such voting control at the date of execution
of this Lease (or at the date a transfer of the Lease to a corporation is
permitted) and which does not receive the prior written consent of the Landlord
in each instance, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, shall entitle
the Landlord to terminate this Lease upon five (5) days' written notice to the
Tenant. If the Landlord elects to cancel this Lease as aforesaid, the Tenant
shall have the right to advise the Landlord within fifteen (15) days after
written notice of the Landlord's election to terminate this Lease that the
Tenant elects to have this Lease reinstated by the

Premises whereupon the Landlord's rights and remedies contained in Paragraph 14
hereof shall apply. The Tenant shall make available to the Landlord all
corporate books and records of the Tenant for inspection at all reasonable times
in order to ascertain whether there has been any change in control. Provided,
notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 9.11 to the contrary, the
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the Tenant if at such time (a)

the interests of the Landlord and the Landlord's mortgagee by reason of any
breach or violation of any warranties, representations, declarations or
conditions contained in the policies. All such policies must contain a

after the placing of the required insurance. All such policies shall contain an
undertaking by the insurers
11
to notify the Landlord and the Landlord's mortgagee in writing not less than
thirty (30) days prior to any material change, cancellation, failure to renew,

Tenant to the Landlord as additional rent on the first day of the next month

and remedies of the Landlord under this Lease.

insurance carried from time to time by the Landlord with respect to the
Building, the Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums, as additional
rent, forthwith after invoices for such additional premiums are rendered by the
Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are caused by or result from

components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and
charges which make up such rate. The Tenant shall comply promptly with all

pertaining to or affecting the Leased Premises.

sub-tenant of the Tenant, or by anyone permitted by the Tenant to be upon the
Leased Premises, and if the Tenant fails to remedy the conditions giving rise to
the cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction of coverage within forty-
eight (48) hours after notice thereof by the Landlord, the Landlord may, at its

do and thereupon the Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as
contained in Xxxxxxxxx 00 xxxxxx, xx, (x) enter upon the Leased Premises and
remedy the conditions giving rise to such cancellation, threatened cancellation
or reduction, and the Tenant shall forthwith pay the cost thereof to the
Landlord, which cost may be collected by the Landlord as additional rent and the
Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of
the Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises as a result of such
entry. The Tenant agrees that any such entry by the Landlord is not a re-entry
or a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease.

serving or comprising the Building and the Common Areas and Facilities which, by
their nature, require periodic or substantial repair or replacement in either

acting reasonably and in accordance with sound accounting principles;

the Lease, shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rented Area of

certainty, excluding the area of any power and boiler room).

estimated by the Landlord for such period or periods as the Landlord may
determine from time to time, and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the
Tenant's Proportionate Share as so estimated of such amounts in monthly

Tenant's Proportionate Share thereof (less all amounts previously paid by the
Tenant on the basis of the Landlord's estimate aforesaid, which have not already

the Landlord an amount equal to any and all goods and services taxes, taxes,
sales taxes, value added taxes, business transfer taxes, or any other imposed on
the Landlord with respect to Rent payable by the Tenant to the Landlord under
this Lease, or in respect of the rental of space under the Lease, whether to the
Landlord under this lease, or in respect of the rental of space under this
Lease, whether characterized as a goods and services tax, sales tax, value added
tax, business transfer tax or otherwise (herein called "Sales Taxes"), it being

Tenant with respect to any and all Sales Taxes payable by the Landlord.

at any time during the continuance of the Term on the Leased Premises shall be
exempt from levy by distress for rent in arrears by the Tenant or on distress

levying upon any such goods as are named as exempted in said Section or Sections
of the said Act or any amendments or amendments thereto; the Tenant waiving as

Premises, or the occupancy or use by the Tenant of the Leased Premises or any
part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of the
Tenant, or by anyone permitted to be on the Leased Premises, by the Tenant. If
the Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation
commenced by or against the Tenant, then the Tenant shall protect, indemnify and
hold the Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable
legal fees incurred or paid by the Landlord in connection with any such
litigation. The Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses and legal fees (on a
solicitor and his client bases) that may be incurred or paid by the Landlord in
enforcing the terms, covenants and conditions in this Lease, unless a Court
shall decide otherwise.

That, notwithstanding any other terms, covenants and conditions
contained in this Lease, including, without limitation, the Tenant's obligation
to pay its Proportionate Share of the costs of insurance in accordance with
Paragraph 11 hereof, in the event the Building, the Common Areas and Facilities

improvements contained therein or made thereto or the roof or the outside walls
of the Building, or any other structural portions thereof require repair or
become damaged or destroyed through the negligence, carelessness or misuse of
the Tenant, its servants, agents, employees, contractors, or through it or them
in any way, stopping up or injuring the heating apparatus, water pipes, drainage
pipes or other equipment or facilities or parts of the Building, the expense of

possibility of a lien attaching to the Leased Premises or to any part of the
Building and should any lien be made or filed, the Tenant shall discharge the
same forthwith (after notice thereof is given to the Tenant) as the Tenant's
expense. In the event the Tenant shall fail to cause any such lien to be
discharged, as aforesaid, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of the
Landlord, the Landlord may, but it shall not be obligated, discharge same by
paying the amount claimed to be due into Court or directly to any such lien
claimant and the amount so paid by the Landlord and all costs and expenses
including solicitors' fees (on a solicitor and his client basis) incurred herein
for the discharge of such lien shall be due and payable by the Tenant to the

hereinafter collectively called "alterations") made by the Tenant, or made by
the Landlord on the Tenant's behalf (other than the Tenant's trade fixtures)
shall immediately become the property of the Landlord without compensation
therefore to the Tenant. Such alterations shall not be removed from the Leased
Premises either during or at the expiration of the Term or sooner determination
of this Lease except that:
13.01.1 The Tenant may at the end of the Term, if not in default, remove its
trade fixtures at its own cost;
13.01.2 The Tenant may remove its trade fixtures at the end of the Term, and
also during the Term, in the usual and normal course of its business or if such
trade fixtures have become excess for the Tenant's purpose or if the Tenant is
substituting therefore new and similar trade fixtures, provided the Tenant is
not in default and provided the Tenant first notifies the Landlord thereof.
16
13.02 The Tenant shall, in the case of every such installation or removal,
either during or at the end of the Term, make good any damage caused to the
Leased Premises or to the Building by the installation or removal of any such
alterations.
13.03 It is understood and agreed that the Tenant will not remove or carry away
from the Leased Premises any plumbing, heating, floor coverings affixed to the
floor of the Leased Premises, light fixtures, drapes or curtains, ventilating
and air-conditioning plant or equipment or other building service or services;
and the Tenant shall leave the plumbing, heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning equipment and systems in good operating condition, subject to
the Tenant's repair obligations hereunder, at the expiry of the Term.
13.04 If the Tenant dues not remove its trade fixtures at the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term, such trade fixtures, at the option of the
Landlord, shall become the Landlord's property and may be removed from the
Leased Premises and sold or otherwise disposed of by the Landlord.
14. RE-ENTRY
14.01 Proviso for re-entry by the Landlord on non-payment of rent or
non-performance of covenants.
14.02 Notwithstanding any statutory provision to the contrary, if the Tenant
shall fail to comply with any of its covenants herein contained including the
covenant to pay Minimum Rent and any additional rent due pursuant to this Lease,
the Landlord may give to the Tenant not less than five (5) days written notice
requiring such default to be remedied and if such default is not remedied by the
Tenant within the aforesaid five (5) day period, then and in any such case, the
Landlord shall be entitled to proceed against the Tenant pursuant to Paragraph
14.03 herein.
14.03 If the Landlord elects to re-enter, as herein provided, or if it takes
possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by
law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may, from time to time, without
terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in
order to relet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof for such term or terms
(which may be for a term or terms extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and
at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as the
Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Upon each such reletting
all rentals received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied,
first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than rent due hereunder, owing
by the Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses
of such reletting, including brokerage fees, solicitor's fees and the costs of
such alterations and repairs, third, to the payment of all rentals due and
unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by the Landlord and
applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable
hereunder. If the rentals received from such reletting during any month shall be
less than that to be paid during the month by the Tenant hereunder, the Tenant
shall pay any such deficiency to the Landlord. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased
Premises by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to the
Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, the Landlord may
at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
Should the Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition
to any remedies it may have, it may recover from the Tenant all damages it has
incurred or may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering
the Leased Premises, reasonable solicitor's fees, and including the worth at the
time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and
charges equivalent to the rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the
stated Term over the then reasonable rental value as determined by the Landlord
for the remainder of the stated Term, all of which amounts shall be immediately
due and payable from the Tenant to the Landlord.
15. EXPENSES AND REMOVAL OF CHATTELS
15.01 In case suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the Leased
Premises, or, for the recovery of rent or any other amounts due under the
provisions of this Lease, or because of the breach of any other covenants herein
contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept or performed, and a breach shall
be established, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all expenses incurred
therefore, including reasonable solicitor's fees.
15.02 In case of removal by the Tenant of the goods and chattels of the Tenant
from the Leased Premises, the Landlord may follow same for thirty (30) days in
the same manner as is provided for in The Landlord and Tenant Act (Ontario).
17
16. LANDLORD MAY CURE TENANT'S DEFAULT
16.01 If the Tenant shall fail to pay, when due, any amounts or charges required
to be paid pursuant to this Lease, the Landlord, after giving five (5) days'
notice in writing to the Tenant, may, but shall not be obligated to, pay all or
any part of the same. If the Tenant is in default in the performance of any of
its covenants or obligations hereunder, (other than payment of Minimum Rent or
other sums required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease), the
Landlord may from time to time after the giving of such notice as it shall deem
sufficient, having regard to the circumstances applicable (or no notice in the
case of an emergency or apprehended emergency) perform or cause to be performed
any of such covenants or obligations or any part thereof, and for such purpose
may do such things as may be requisite, including without limitation, entering
upon the Leased Premises and doing such things upon or in respect of the Leased
Premises or any part thereof as the Landlord may reasonably consider requisite
or necessary. All expenses incurred and expenditures made by or on behalf of the
Landlord under this Paragraph 16, plus a sum equal to fifteen percent (15%)
thereof shall be additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by the Tenant upon
demand. The Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant for any loss or
damage resulting from any such action by the Landlord, and any entry by the
Landlord under the provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall not constitute a breach
of the covenant for quiet enjoyment or an eviction.
17. LIEN ON TRADE FIXTURES AND SECURITY OVER TENANT'S CHATTELS
17.01 If the Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall
be in default under any covenant or agreement contained herein, the Landlord
shall have a lien on all stock-in-trade, inventory, fixtures, equipment and
facilities of the Tenant as security against loss or damage resulting from any
such default by the Tenant, and the stock-in-trade, inventory, fixtures,
equipment or facilities shall not be removed by the Tenant until such default is
cured, or as otherwise directed by the Landlord.
17.02.1 The Tenant hereby grants to the Landlord a security interest ("Security
Interest") in all personal property of any kind including, without limiting the
generality of the aforegoing, all goods, chattels, trade fixtures, furniture,
equipment, inventory, stock-in-trade, chattel paper, instruments, documents of
title, supplies, securities and intangibles (hereinafter collectively called the
"Collateral") which are or may, at any time hereafter, be in or on the Leased
Premises, to secure the payment of all Minimum Rent and additional rent and the
fulfilment of the other obligations of the Tenant under this Lease. Except for
the Security Interest, the Tenant agrees that all Collateral shall be the
unencumbered property of the Tenant. The Tenant agrees that it shall, at the
request of the Landlord, enter into a separate security agreement, mortgage or
other similar charge or security instrument, in addition to this security
agreement hereby granted, or agrees to document separately the Security Interest
hereby granted on such terms as the Landlord shall reasonably require on all of
the Collateral in the Leased Premises at any time during the Term including all
after-acquired items forming part of the Collateral, as security for the payment
of Minimum Rent, additional rent and the performance by the Tenant of all of its
other obligations pursuant to this Lease. Notwithstanding any additional or
separate security agreement, mortgage, charge or other security instrument given
by the Tenant to the Landlord, the Tenant confirms and agrees that the Security
Interest given pursuant to this Paragraph 17.02.1 is complete and intended to be
valid without the necessity of the Tenant's giving or having to give any other
or further documentation. The Tenant agrees that the Security Interest shall
attach to the Collateral forthwith upon the execution hereof and that, to the
extent necessary to give full effect to this Paragraph 17.02.1, this Lease is
entitled to be considered a Security Agreement as defined in the Personal
Property Security Act of Ontario;
17.02.2 The Landlord may, on any default by the Tenant under this Lease, realize
upon the Collateral and enforce its rights under the Security Interest by any
remedy or proceeding permitted at law or by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, all or any rights and remedies available to a secured party under
the Personal Property Security Act of Ontario and any other similar statute,
including the right to recover the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding,
repairing, processing, preparing for disposition and disposing of the Collateral
and other reasonable expenses including reasonable legal costs incurred by the
Landlord;
17.02.3 This Security Interest shall not be deemed to have been satisfied,
discharged or redeemed by reason of the Tenant's not being indebted to the
Landlord at any time or from time to time and no payment shall reduce the amount
secured by this Security Interest except to the extent expressly approved by the
Landlord in writing;
17.02.4 This Security Interest is given in addition to and not as an alternative
to any other rights of the Landlord under this Lease or at law including,
without limitation, the Landlord's rights of distress.
18
18. ADDITIONAL RENT
18.01 If the Tenant shall be in default in the payment of any amounts or charges
required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease, they shall, if not paid
when due, be collectible as rent with the next monthly instalment of Minimum
Rent thereafter falling due hereunder, but nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any amount, money or charge at the
time same becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of the
Landlord. The Tenant covenants and agrees that the Landlord may, at its option,
apply or allocate any sums received from or due to the Tenant against any
amounts due and payable hereunder in such manner as the Landlord, in its sole
discretion, sees fit.
19. NET LEASE
19.01 The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it is intended that this Lease is
a completely carefree net lease to the Landlord, and, except as expressly herein
set out, that the Landlord is not responsible during the Term of the Lease for
any costs, charges, expenses and outlays of any nature whatsoever arising from
or relating to the Leased Premises or the use and occupancy thereof or to the
contents thereof, or the business carried on therein, and the Tenant shall pay
all charges, impositions, costs and expenses of any nature or kind relating to
the Leased Premises, except as expressly herein set out.
20. QUIET ENJOYMENT
20.01 Upon the payment by the Tenant of the rents herein provided and upon the
observance and performance of all covenants, terms and conditions of the
Tenant's part to be observed and performed, the Tenant shall peaceably and
quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the Term hereby demised without
hindrance or interruption by the Landlord, or any other person or persons
lawfully claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to
the terms and conditions of this Lease.
21. RIGHT OF ENTRY
21.01 The Landlord or its agents shall have the right to enter the Leased
Premises at all times, (i) to examine the same, (ii) to show them to prospective
purchasers, lessees, or mortgagees, and, (iii) without any obligation upon the
Landlord to do so, to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions
to the Leased Premises or the Building as the Landlord may deem necessary or
desirable. The Landlord shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the
Leased Premises which may be required therefore without the same constituting an
eviction of the Tenant in whole or in part, and the rent reserved hereunder
shall not xxxxx while such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions are
being made due to any loss or interruption of the business of the tenant or
otherwise. The Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, injury or death
caused to any person or property of the Tenant or of others located on the
Leased Premises as a result of such entry. During the six (6) months prior to
the expiration of the Term the Landlord may exhibit the Leased Premises to
prospective tenants and place upon the Leased Premises its usual notice "To Let"
which notice the Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation. If
the Tenant shall not be personally present to open and permit an entry into the
Leased Premises at any time when for any reason entry therein shall be necessary
or permissible, the Landlord or its agents may enter the same by a master key or
may forcibly enter the same, and without rendering the Landlord or such agents
liable therefore, and without in any manner affecting the obligations and
covenants of the Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or
construed to impose upon the Landlord any obligation, responsibility or
liability whatsoever for the care, maintenance or repair of the Premises or any
part thereof except as otherwise herein specifically provided.
22. IMPROVEMENTS
22.01 If the Tenant shall during the Term desire to make alterations,
decorations, additions or improvements (sometimes hereinafter collectively
called "alterations") to any part of the Leased Premises, it may do so at its
own expenses at any time and from time to time, provided that such alterations
shall be made by contractors approved by the Landlord (such approval not to be
unreasonably denied or delayed), and provided further, that the Tenant's rights
to make such alterations to the Leased Premises shall be subject to the
following conditions:
22.01.1 Before undertaking any such alterations, the Tenant shall submit to the
Landlord a plan showing the proposed alterations and shall obtain the written
approval and consent of the Landlord to the same and such approval and consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided such alterations are of
a non-structural nature, and further provided, no such alterations by the Tenant
shall commence until the Tenant has delivered to the Landlord a copy of all
requisite permits with respect hereto.
19
22.01.2 All such alterations shall conform to all building bylaws, if any, then
in force affecting the Leased Premises, the Building and the Lands and such
alterations or improvements shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner.
22.01.3 Such alterations will not be, in the sole opinion of the Landlord acting
reasonably, of such kind or extent as to in any manner weaken the structure of
the Building after the alterations are completed or reduce the value of the
Building, and the Lands, in which case the Landlord may arbitrarily withhold its
consent to same.
23. FIRE.
23.01 Provided, and it is hereby expressly agreed, that if and whenever during
the Term, the Building shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, lightning or
other perils as are insured against by the Landlord from time to time, then and
in every such event:
23.01.1 If the damage or destruction to the Building renders twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the Building wholly unfit for occupancy or if it is impossible
or unsafe to use and occupy the Building, or if in the reasonable opinion of the
Landlord the Building is damaged or destroyed to such a material extent or the
damage or destruction is of such a nature that the Building must be or should be
totally or partially demolished, whether to be reconstructed in whole or in part
or not, or if the cost of repairing or rebuilding the Building as a result of
such damage or destruction exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement
cost thereof, the Landlord may at its option, terminate this lease by giving to
the Tenant notice in writing of such termination, in which event this Lease and
the Term hereby denied shall cease and be at an end as of the date of such
destruction or damage, and the Minimum Rent and all other payments for which the
Tenant is liable under the terms of this Lease shall be apportioned and paid in
full to the date of such destruction or damage.
23.01.2 If the damage or destruction is such that the Leased Premises are
rendered unfit for occupancy or if it is impossible or unsafe to use and occupy
the Leased Premises, and if in other event, the damage, in the reasonable
opinion of the Landlord, to be given to the Tenant within thirty (30) days of
the happening of such damage or destruction cannot be repaired with reasonable
diligence within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the happening of such
damage or destruction, then either the Landlord or the Tenant may within five
(5) days next succeeding the giving of the Landlord's opinion, as aforesaid,
terminate this Lease by giving to the other notice in writing of such
termination, in which event this Lease and the Term hereby devised shall cease
and be at an end as of the date of such damage or destruction, and the Minimum
Rent and all other payments for which the Tenant is liable under the terms of
this Lease shall be apportioned and paid in full to the date of such destruction
and damage. In the event that neither the Landlord nor the Tenant so terminate
this Lease, then, the Landlord shall repair the Leased Premised (to the extent
only of the Landlord's work in connection with the original construction of the
Leased Premises and for greater certainty shall in no event include any
leasehold improvement or fixtures unless originally installed by the Landlord)
with all reasonable speed and the Minimum Rent and additional rent hereby
reserved shall state.
23.01.3 If the damage is such that the Leased Premises are wholly unfit for
occupancy or if it is impossible and unsafe to use and occupy the Leased
Premises, but, if in either event, the damage, in the reasonable opinion of the
Landlord to be given to the Tenant within thirty (30) days from the happening of
such damage, can be repaired (to the extent hereinbefore set out in Paragraph
23.01.2) with reasonable diligence within one hundred and twenty (120) days from
the happening of such damage, then, the Minimum Rent and additional rent hereby
reserved shall not xxxxx. Subject to the provisions relating to Unavoidable
Delay as set out in Paragraph 32.01 hereof, if the Landlord shall fail to repair
the damage within the aforesaid period of one hundred and twenty (120) days then
Minimum Rent shall xxxxx from the one hundred and twenty first (121st) day until
the damage shall be repaired to the extend hereinbefore set out in Paragraph
23.01.2.
23.01.4 If, in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord, the damage to the Leased
Premises can be made good, as aforesaid, within one hundred and twenty (120)
days of the happening of such destruction or damage, and the damage is such that
the Leased Premises are capable of being partially used for the purpose for
which the Leased Premises are hereby leased, then, until such damage has been
repaired (to the extent set out in Paragraph 23.01.2), the Minimum Rent shall
xxxxx to the proportion that the part of the Leased Premises rendered unfit for
occupancy bears to the whole the Leased Premises, and the Landlord shall repair
the damage (to the extent set out in Paragraph 23.01.2) with all reasonable
speed.
23.01.5 In the event the Landlord shall elect to repair, reconstruct or rebuild
the Building or the Leased Premises, as the case may be, in accordance with the
provisions of this Paragraph 23, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Tenant
that the Landlord shall be entitled to use plans and specifications and working
drawings in connection therewith other than those used in the original
20
construction of the Building or the Leased Premises; and
23.01.6 The decision of the Landlord's architect or engineer as to the time
within which the Building and/or the Leased Premises can or cannot be repaired,
the state of tenantability or fitness of the Leased Premises and/or the
Building, and as to the date on which the Landlord's work of repair is
completed, shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
24. ASSIGNMENT BY LANDLORD
24.01 The Landlord declares that it may assign its rights under this Lease to a
lending institution as collateral security for a loan to the Landlord and in the
event that such as assignment is given and executed by the Landlord, and
notification thereof is given to the Tenant by or on behalf of the Landlord, it
is expressly agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant that this lease shall
not be cancelled or modified for any reason whatsoever except as provided for,
anticipated or permitted by the terms of this Lease or by law, without the
consent in writing of such lending institution.
24.02 The Tenant covenants and agrees with the Landlord that it will, if and
whenever reasonably required by the Landlord, consent to and become a party to
any instrument relating to this Lease which may be required by or on behalf of
any purchaser, lender or mortgagee from time to time of the Leased Premises.
25. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
25.01 The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease shall, so far as the covenants
and obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, be limited to mean
and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Building and
in the event of any conveyance or transfer of ownership by the Landlord herein
named, and in the case of any subsequent transfer or conveyances, the then
vendor or transferor shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after
the date of such transfer or conveyance of all personal liability in respect of
the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord
contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, provided that:
25.01.1 Any funds in the hands of the Landlord or the then vendor or transferor
at the time of such transfer, in which the Tenant has an interest, shall be
turned over to the purchaser or transferee and any amount then due and payable
to the Tenant by the Landlord or the then vendor or transferor under any
provision of this Lease shall be paid to the Tenant and have assumed, subject to
the limitations of this Paragraph, all of the terms, covenants and conditions
consigned in this Lease to be performed on the part of the Landlord.
25.02 It is the intention of the parties pursuant to this Paragraph 25 that the
covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of the Landlord

26.01 The Tenant will not paint, fix, display, or cause to be painted, fixed or
displayed, any sign, picture, advertisement notice, lettering or decoration on
any part of the exterior or the interior of the Leased Premises without, in each
instance, the prior written approval of the Landlord, not to be unreasonably
denied or delayed. All signs erected by the Tenant with the Landlord's approval,
as aforesaid, shall nevertheless be of uniform size, lettering and location as
the signs of all other tenants in the Building. Any such signs or other
advertising material, as aforesaid, shall be removed by the Tenant at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and the Tenant shall promptly
repair any and all damage caused by the installation or removal. Provided, if
the Landlord shall, in its sole discretion, desire to establish a uniform sign
policy for all tenants of the Building, then, the Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that the Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to erect all signs or other
advertising material in or on the Building, advertising the respective tenants
business operations therein (including the Tenant named herein). The cost of
such sign and installation and erection thereof in respect of the Leased
Premises shall be borne entirely by the Tenant and shall be payable forthwith on
demand, as additional rent.
26.02 The parties agree that the Landlord shall be entitled, at its own option,
to design and install a tenant directory board indicating the location of the
Tenant and any other tenants of the Building and the Tenant shall pay its
Proportionate Share of the cost of the designing, building and installation of
the tenant directory board which shall be payable forthwith on demand as
additional rent.
21
27. WAIVER OF BREACH
27.01 The waiver by the Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent
hereunder by the Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding
breach of the Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease,
regardless of the Landlord's knowledge of such preceeding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent. No covenant, term or condition of this Lease shall be
deemed to have been waived by the Landlord unless such waiver is in writing and
signed by the Landlord.

30. SUBORDINATION
30.1 This Lease and all of the rights of the Tenant hereunder are, and shall at
all times, be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages, trust deeds or

or any renewals, or extensions thereof, now or hereafter in force against the
Lands, Buildings and improvements comprising the Building. Without limiting the
foregoing, upon the request of the Landlord, the Tenant will subordinate this
Lease and all of its rights hereunder in such form or forms as the Landlord may
require to any such mortgage, trust deeds or the charge or lien resulting from
any other method of financing or refinancing and to all advances made or
hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and will if requested,
[ILLEGIBLE] to the holder thereof. No subordination by the Tenant shall have the
effect of permitting the holder of any mortgage or charge or other security to
disturb the occupation and possession by the Tenant of the Leased Properties, so
long as the Tenant shall perform all of the terms, covenants, conditions,
agreements and provisos contained in this Lease and so long as the Tenant
executes contemporaneously, a document of [ILLEGIBLE] required by any such
mortgage or other encumbrancer. If within ten (10) days after the date of any
request in respect thereof, the Tenant has not executed and delivered to the
Landlord any instruments or certificates required pursuant to the provisions of
this Paragraph 30 or Paragraph 29 hereof, then, it shall be deemed that the
Tenant has provided a status statement in the form provided by the Landlord.

its sole discretion, from time to time, decide in respect of the common
driveways and common parking areas, including, without limitation, the right to
change the location and the layout of any such common driveways and common
parking areas; and
31.02 Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Landlord
shall be entitled to do and perform all such acts, changes, improvements and
alterations in and to the Building and the Common Areas and facilities thereof,
including, without limitation, the parking areas, as in the use of good business
judgement, the Landlord shall from time to time determine to be advisable with a
view to improve the use thereof by the Tenant and the other tenants of the
Building and their respective agents, employees and customers.
31.03 The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord shall not have any
responsibility for policing the parking facilities so as to ensure that each

Tenant, and without liability on the part of the Landlord, to remove any and all
abandoned vehicles in, on or around the lands and parking areas forming part of
the Building, upon first giving to the owner of any such abandoned car
twenty-four (24) hours notice (provided, however, if the Landlord after the
exercise of reasonable diligence is unable to locate the owner of such abandoned
vehicle, then, the Landlord shall not be required to first give notice to such
owner prior to the removal of the abandoned vehicle).
32. IMPOSSIBILITY OF PERFORMANCE AND UNAVOIDABLE DELAY
32.01 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if
either party hereto is bona fide delayed or hindered in or prevented from the
performance of any term, covenant or act required hereunder by reason of
strikes, labour troubles, inability to procure materials or services, power
failure, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection,
sabotage, rebellion, war, acts of god, or other reasons whether of a like nature
or not which is not the fault of the party delayed in performing work or doing
acts required under the terms of this Lease ("Unavoidable Delay"), then, the
performance of such term, covenant or act is excused for the period of the delay
and the party so delayed shall be entitled to perform such term, covenant or act
within the appropriate time period after the expiration of the period of such
delay. However, the provisions of this paragraph 32 shall not in any way operate
to excuse the Tenant from the prompt payment of Minimum Rent and additional rent
or any of the payments required by the terms of this Lease.
